Remember how I hate the word " kudos?" I still do.

Ok, a few more since I haven't been getting flamed enough recently

- I don't understand people that prefer the Stones to the Beatles. It's like preferring a McDonald's crapburger to filet mignon.

- I think people that argue that rap is "music" really need to get out more.

- I think the glorification of stupidity that stems from shows like Jerry Springer is actually harmful to society. Same goes for movies like Dumb and Dumber and pretty much every other "comedy" for which scatalogical humor is the best they can achieve.

- Uninformed people shouldn't get into debates. If you don't know something, changing the subject isn't likely to fool anyone.

- On that same note, if you can't defend your stance on an issue, then you shouldn't be posting about it on a public message board.

- Technically, being "against" gays and gay marriage doesn't make you homophobic. It does, however, make you a bigot.

- I hate being accused of something I didn't do. If you're going to accuse me of it, you'd better be prepared to either back it up or be called a liar.

- People that argue that the 10 commandments are somehow the basis of all of our laws crack me up. How many commandments are laws ? Two ? To quote Bill Maher, couldn't we all agree to not steal from or kill each other without all the other nonsense ?

- I find hypocrisy both infuriating and hilarious, depending on my mood at the time. Creating a graven image of a document that says not to worship graven images...that's just the height of comedy, for me.

Ok....Flame away

I hate the fact that we work our butts off to pay for the morgage, car, etc. and then people who arrive in Canada and are here less than a month apply for government assistance, get it, and sit on their ***** all day

I use the handicap accessible stall in the bathroom if all the other stalls are full and no one else is using it. I think that the stall is accessible for handicapped people - not exclusively reserved for them.

We would but we aren't allowed - we'll just have to do it privately to ourselves.

Kudos to auntpolly for not flaming!

 

[MamaLema]

I hate the fact that I can't write what I really want to write on most threads. If your opinion is in the minority, you will get flamed so bad.

 

[auntpolly]

I hate all those anorexic actresses that claim they eat "tons" of food and haven't lost any weight. Hey Callista! Your hair is falling out. Get a grip.

Why yay otta...... (said in my best 3 stooges voice)

I was just about to write that!

If that was how I felt, then I would probably have 1/8th the posts I do now No need to be afraid of the fire

Somehow you've made that sound a little naughty!

On lunch break, and in a mood, so I may as well.

I've considered getting one of those ribbons for my car, but I can't because I think they are exclusionary. To me, they say, "I'm a real American and if you were real too, you'd have one on your SUV just like I do". Patriotism is not a commodity.

The Democratic party needs a player like JFK who has the ability to communicate vision and to inspire.

I decided this year instead of worrying over whether to send holiday cards with the "Merry Christmas" message vs the "Happy Holidays" message, I'd go with "Peace on earth, good will toward men".

I think a lot can be learned from studying a President after he is no longer in office. As much as I disagreed with Ronald Reagen's politics, I thought he and his wife showed an enormous amount of class from the beginning of his illness until he died (and Nancy continues to show class). And Jimmy Carter has proven to be one of the few really great Americans.

I really hated the movie Finding Nemo, and feel a bit sheepish to admit that, since everyone else loved it. I can't even put my finger on why I hated it, all the characters just seemed incredibly whiny to me.

Regarding the Terri Schiavo case, isn't it ironic that the very same people who wanted massive public resources devoted to keeping her alive object to any kind of public support for those whose health and welfare could be safeguarded by such support? These are always the first people to step up to the plate and whine and moan about the free lunch program for desperately poor children, yet insist its only moral to pay to artificially maintain a brain dead person for countless years when there is no hope of recovery. Does this make any sense? Moral or otherwise?

I have to say I find my nieces wearing little mini-prostitute outfits quite disturbing, especially since their mother handpicks these outfits and talks about how hot they are.

Money that is spent on efforts to arrest, convict, and lock up casual drug users could be better spent elsewhere.

Getting older in some way sucks, but in other ways has so many wonderful compensations. It is so freeing. I love the company of women my age or older, we're past the competitive "don't advertise your man" stage, and can really enjoy fulfilling relationships with one another. If DH God forbid dies before I do, I'll never remarry. I'll just get a young boyfriend and live in a house with a bunch of other old ladies, just like they did in The Golden Girls.

My 6 year old can get away with a lot, but "shut up" is absolutely banned around here. The phrase is used far too much in children's movies and TV, too. Makes me crazy as a parent. I'd much rather have them see some naked bodies or hear an honest "oh sugar" (you get the idea) than have them learn to treat other people with that sort of disrespect.

Ahhh, back to work. I do so love this thread, it certainly is a therapeutic mid day break.

Ooops, delete this thread too, mods, I didn't see that you guys had already taken care of the ignorance.

 

[chadfromdallas]

I think its hysterical people are willing to sound so ignorant, anonymous "no flame" forum notwithstanding. Its especially great that we have it on record, imo!

Good to see at least one of them get edited and removed

Nope...No record...The mods did the wise thing and deleted the entire string of posts.

Hmm seems the slate has been wiped.

I think we should let people see how ignorant and bigoted other people are. But then again, it's probably better that it isn't out there.
